Fishermen rescued but one still missing

The search last night for the three Co Wexford men and their vessel, the Rising Sun, succeeded in locating two of the men clinging to each other in freezing cold sea conditions and near zero visibility.

The men were located at around 9.30pm near the Saltees. They were taken by lifeboat to Kilmore Quay where an ambulance transported them to Wexford Regional Hospital.
